Default HELP will they work.

So I have a 2011 f150 that I'm running 285/70/17 right now on these wheels.

I recently purchased a rough country 6" lift.

I guess my question is will my wheels work with my new 35/1250/17" general grabbers. The wheels that I have now are 8.5 wide and have a +25 offset. Best I can figure they are 5.75" backspacing. The lift calls for a 4.5-5" backspacing. Do y'all think the wheels will work. And if it is know if the lift manufactures give them selfs some room for error or should I brace myself to have to buy new wheels.

I hope that's the case. If it is I should be ok.

A couple issues you may run into would be that the wheel has too much backspacing for the new knuckle included with the kit. That kit may work with a 20" wheel with the same backspacing though. The sidewall of the tire may come into contact with the knuckle and/or UCA.
